A Daily Blog By Shillman Journalism Fellow Daniel GreenfieldenHillary Clinton: When I Said Backward, I Meant Small Townshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/the-point/~3/b60gjxAopzQ/hillary-clinton-when-i-said-backward-i-meant-small-daniel-greenfield
<p>
The fallout from Hillary Clinton's sore loser tour to India has been severe. Her <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269578/hillary-clinton-i-only-lost-backward-states-daniel-greenfield">suggestion that white women</a> only voted for Trump because of their husbands and that it was the backward states that didn't vote for her <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/378635-heitkamp-on-when-hillary-clinton-will-go-away-not-soon-enough">infuriated even her</a> remaining Dem establishment supporters.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Sen.&nbsp;Heidi Heitkamp&nbsp;(D-N.D.), who's currently facing a tough reelection bid in a state won by&nbsp;President Trump&nbsp;in the 2016 election, said this week that former Democratic presidential nominee&nbsp;Hillary Clinton's exit from politics is way past due.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
In an interview Tuesday,&nbsp;KFGO&nbsp;radio host Joel Heitkamp, the senator's brother, asked when Clinton would "ride off into the sunset," as he remarked on a recent speech Clinton gave in which she said the U.S. "did not deserve" President Trump's victory in the 2016 election.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
"I don't know, not soon enough, I guess," she responded.</p>
<p>
Pressed again by the host, Heidi Heitkamp said: "Not soon enough."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Hillary's routine was the last thing that the Dems, who were celebrating Connor Lamb's possible victory needed. So she decided to explain. Not apologize. Hillary doesn't do apologies. Instead she <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hillaryclinton/posts/1863136670409520">laboriously sets</a> out to explain why you ignorant troglodytes misunderstood what she was saying to you. The explanation ignores the reality of what she actually said.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
My first instinct was to defend Americans and explain how Donald Trump could have been elected. I said that places doing better economically typically lean Democratic, and places where there is less optimism about the future lean Republican. That doesn’t mean the coasts versus the heartland, it doesn’t even mean entire states. In fact, it more often captures the divisions between more dynamic urban areas and less prosperous small towns within states.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Good to know. So when Hillary said backward, she meant small towns. Madison is still okay.</p>
<p>
But Hillary was actually suggesting that these places are racist.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
If you remember, Trump started his campaign attacking immigrants, because he knew that in many parts of the country -- and let me just hasten to add, in many parts of the country where there aren’t very many immigrants -- he was able to scapegoat immigrants.</p>
<p>
Like, if you have problems, you’re not happy with your job, you don’t think you’ve gotten enough advancement, you’re working for a woman now, you don’t like it -- whatever the reason was -- he stirred that up, and anti-immigrant feeling became so virulent, thanks to his rhetoric, that it was a big motivator in a lot of the votes in certain parts of the country. &nbsp;</p>
<p>
If you look at the map of the United States, there’s all that red in the middle where Trump won. I win the coasts, I win Illinois and Minnesota, places like that. But what the map doesn’t show you, is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product.</p>
<p>
So, I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving-forward, and his whole campaign, "Make America Great Again," was looking backwards. You know, you didn’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women getting jobs, you don’t want to see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are. "Whatever your problem is, I’m going to solve it."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The division Hillary was setting out is quite obvious. Small towns are full of ignorant, poor, racist people who voted Trump. Cities are full of rich, successful Hillary voters.</p>
<p>
You can see why the Dems desperately want her to go.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
I'm from the Midwest. I had plans that, had I been elected, would have focused on the real needs of hard-working yet struggling Americans in every part of the country.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Noblesse oblige doesn't come any more oblige.</p>
<p>
"I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted. I meant no disrespect to any individual or group. And I want to look to the future as much as anybody," Hillary writes.</p>
<p>
Sure. As much as any bitter, unhinged failed politico obsessed with relitigating the 2016 election.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Washington D.C. council member Trayon White offered up a <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/18/dc-council-member-apologizes-after-blaming-snowfall-on-jewish-bankers-controlling-climate.html">bizarre conspiracy</a> theory.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A Washington D.C. council member apologized Sunday evening after he blamed a snow squall on a well-known Jewish banking dynasty.</p>
<p>
In an Instagram post, Democrat Trayon White apologized to "the Jewish Community and anyone I have offended."</p>
<p>
"Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man," White said,&nbsp;according to The Washington Post. "Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation."</p>
<p>
"And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man," he added. "Be careful."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Here's his official bio.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Trayon White is an academically accomplished and well respected advocate for all citizens living in Ward 8. Mr. White received a call to serve many years ago. His clarion call lead him to devote his life to the community he had grown to love, Ward 8. His personal and political accomplishments are well documented, with Mr. White giving of his time to youth and seniors alike, if called upon, even at a moment’s notice.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I don't think anyone needs to control the weather to make D.C. a disaster. White represents Marion Barry's old ward. It wasn't the&nbsp;Rothschilds&nbsp;or the illuminati who did that. And that's the point.</p>
<p>
Two things here.</p>
<p>
1. I don't think White was actually being particularly anti-Semitic. He quite possibly is. But this seems to be more illuminati lizard people <a href="https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/loose-lips/blog/20996903/trayon-white-apologizes-for-conspiratorial-comments">conspiracy stuff</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
White has&nbsp;reportedly&nbsp;mused aloud about supposed connections between the Rothschilds and climate change before. At a February working breakfast between the D.C. Council and Mayor&nbsp;Muriel Bowser, he asked the Bowser administration about links between the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the World Bank, and D.C.'s recently created&nbsp;Office of Resilience, according to a District official who was present.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
2. White's districts has a ton of problems. Illuminati snow probably isn't one of them. But it's easier to take refuge in conspiracy theories than to take responsibility.</p>
<p>
And this also helps explain the appeal of Farrakhan and anti-Semitism and racism in the African-American community. It's easier to blame the CIA for crack cocaine and AIDS. It's easier to blame the Jews for pot. Nothing is ever the fault of anyone in the actual district. It's always some grand conspiracy by more successful people. And that's the essence of the mindset.</p>
<p>
If you don't believe that meritocracy exists, then the only reason anyone gets ahead is a conspiracy. This is a common attitude in the Middle East. The fall of the caliphate was a conspiracy. Set off enough bombs and you can bring it back.</p>
<p>
Don't fix your life, your country or your community. But watch the skies. That's where they control the snow.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Pro-Israel movies don't get made anymore.</p>
<p>
There are just two categories of movies about Israel. The overtly anti-Israel stuff and the covertly anti-Israel stuff. The covert part usually isn't too covert. But&nbsp;covert enough that they get played at Jewish and Israeli film festivals, that people who don't hate Israel go to see them.</p>
<p>
That's the case with 7 Days in Entebbe according to some of the reviews. Like Munich, the movie is not overtly anti-Israel, it's just hostile to the idea of fighting terrorists. The stars are the terrorists. They have a more meaningful inner life. While the Jews are riven by conflict over fighting them.</p>
<p>
Here's <a href="http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/257496/entebbe-movie-hijacked-by-bad-ideas">Liel Leibovitz at The Tablet</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Sternly, one character tells another that the fight must go on, for the sake of the hostages. Just as sternly, the other character replies that if the fight&nbsp;must&nbsp;go on, then we are all hostages. The latter is being metaphorical, maybe even metaphysical, musing about a future marred by perpetual hostilities. The former is being a bit more literal: There are 246 men, women, and children held at gunpoint in Uganda who need saving...</p>
<p>
In&nbsp;7 Days, however, the bad guys aren’t that bad—they’re German intellectuals, which means that, periodically, they must put aside their AK-47s and debate the dialectical nature of history....</p>
<p>
It interacts with the world as you’d do in a Georgetown dinner party or in the opinion pages of&nbsp;The New York Times, making broad and bloodless statements while glancing sideways for the approval of your peers. The movie opens with a title card that explains that while some see the hijackers as terrorists, others view them as freedom fighters. It ends with more title cards, informing us that the nice soul-searching prime minister we’ve come to admire, Rabin, was assassinated by a religious Jewish zealot who did not share his enlightened views about the futility of the fight. These bookends are not incidental; they&nbsp;are&nbsp;the film, and everything else that happens in between is just there to serve the vapid and vacuous statement that the film chooses to make.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The heroes <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Culture/7-Days-in-Entebbe-film-plays-down-Israeli-heroism-543137">are the terrorists.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Padilha and screenwriter Gregory Burke have played down Israeli heroism in favor of telling the story from several points of view, with a particular focus on the two German hijackers, Brigitte Kuhlmann (Rosamund Pike) and Wilfried Bose (Daniel Bruhl).<br>
<br>
We get their backstories: She feels her mistakes led to the arrest of her mentor, Ulrike Meinhof, and she is driven by guilt and anger, while he is a weak bookseller and publisher of revolutionary books who feels nobody takes him seriously.<br>
<br>
They are by far the most fully realized characters in the film, and are portrayed in much greater depth than the hostages, soldiers, Palestinian terrorists and Israeli government officials.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Oh, and about that stupid dance number...</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
he movie opens with and keeps cutting back to a performance of Echad Mi Yodea by the Batsheva Dance Company. That athletic, high-energy dance features dancers dressed as Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) who sing, dance and eventually strip down to leotards...</p>
<p>
Padilha said he used the dance to make a comment “in a cinematic and visual way” about the need to break free of the preconceptions that stopped the Israelis from negotiating with the terrorists.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
There are <a href="http://deadline.com/2018/02/jose-padilha-lifts-the-lid-on-7-days-in-entebbe-berlin-1202295248/">just no words.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Said Padilha, who directed the 2014&nbsp;Robocop&nbsp;remake:&nbsp;“In this recurrent conflict, it’s very easy for politicians to present themselves as protecting people against the enemy. But once you frame the relationship as enemies, it becomes hard to negotiate, and that’s still true today. There is a constant state of fear in both Israeli and Palestinian populations because of the conflict, and this fear is preyed upon by right-wing politicians — kind of like Trump who is going to build a wall to defend American from whomever, I don’t know.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The guy involved in Narcos doesn't know. Really.</p>
<p>
But if you're pro-Israel give this garbage a pass. Unless you really want to see Entebbe from the point of view of the bad guys.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Some would say that after the Islamic Revolution, Iran became an Islamic hell. But in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFMPMG/featured">Glazov Gang </a>conversation, it's the idea of Islamic hell that is at issue. And the impact that it had on a young boy.</p>
<p>
Jamie Glazov of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFMPMG/featured">Glazov&nbsp;Gang</a> joins<a href="http://jamieglazov.com/2018/03/18/glazov-gang-terror-of-islamic-hell/"> ex-Muslim Armin Navabi </a>to discuss his traumatic experiences growing up in Islam.</p>

It's another reminder that Islam is a religion of terror in more ways than one, sustaining itself, feeding itself and nurturing its growth on the terror of its people and its enemies. It thrives not on the positive, but on the negative.</p>

<p>
<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/265229/stop-lying-about-keith-ellisons-11-years-anti-daniel-greenfield">Keith Ellison</a> has <a href="https://medium.com/@keithellison/my-record-fighting-bigotry-54c59ee3a57a">a Medium post </a>denying his extensive history with Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. The post, with its references to&nbsp;MLK and&nbsp;Heschel&nbsp;is very blatantly aimed at liberal Jews.</p>
<p>
Too bad it's a bizarre series of distortions, evasions and lies.</p>
<p>
Ellison treats his time with the Nation of Islam as a conspiracy invented by the right to divide blacks and Jews. And claims that his only association with the NOI was the Million Man March.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Over the last few weeks, some political opponents have been pushing the narrative that I am somehow connected to a man named Louis Farrakhan. It’s not true. Mr. Farrakhan leads a group called the Nation of Islam and is best known for organizing the 1995 Million Man March. He’s also well-known for his anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>
If you are a Black man from my generation, you remember the march. A huge number of Black men from all across America came to Washington to alert lawmakers to the social and economic problems facing our communities. I helped organize the march in my local community in Minneapolis. And I marched in it, along with civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson.</p>
<p>
After the march, Mr. Farrakhan’s disparaging views on Jewish people, women and the LGBT community became clearer to me. I’ve since spoken about why I believe Mr. Farrakhan’s views ultimately divide our society.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I don't understand why Ellison would write this when there's extensive documented evidence of his time in the Nation of Islam and his defense of its anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>
Scott Johnson at Powerline <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2011/08/keith-ellison-for-dummies.php">assembled a very extensive background</a> of Ellison's NOI ties. Much of it has been documented in newspapers.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
1989–Ellison publishes the first of two articles in the University of Minnesota Daily under the alias “Keith Hakim.” In the first such article, Ellison speaks up for the Nation of Islam.</p>
<p>
1995–Ellison supports Million Man March, appears at organizing rally with former Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Muhammed at University of Minnesota. Ellison acts as local Nation of Islam leader in march at office of U.S. Attorney in Minneapolis protesting indictment of Qubilah Shabazz for conspiring to murder Louis Farrakhan. Ellison charges FBI with conspiring to murder Farrakhan. Ellison writes article under alias “Keith X Ellison” attacking Star Tribune for criticizing Louis Farrakhan.</p>
<p>
1997–Ellison appears under alias “Keith Ellison-Muhammad” at Minnesota Initiative Against Racism hearing in support of Joanne Jackson. Ellison defends “the truth” of Jackson’s statement that “Jews are the most racist white people.” This is the Star Tribune’s article on the controversy, which refers to Ellison’s statement:</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The name change to Muhammad is fairly typical of NOI members.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
1998–Ellison first runs for DFL endorsement for state representative. Ellison identifies himself as member of Nation of Islam in Insight News article on his candidacy. Ellison runs for endorsement under alias “Keith Ellison-Muhammad.”&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's a span of time covering 9 years.</p>
<p>
The run in '98 took place years after the Million Man March.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Ellison was not only well aware of the Nation of Islam's views on Jews, but had defended its anti-Semitism in documented articles.</p>
<p>
Contrast that with his claims on Medium.</p>
<p>
"I ran for Congress more than a decade ago because I imagined a more inclusive, tolerant, and welcoming America," he begins. He claims, "Fighting for inclusion is what my service in politics is all about."&nbsp;</p>
<p>
That and the NOI's racism.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
And, back in 1989, Keith Ellison was already being condemned for anti-Semitism. The&nbsp;Minnesota Daily&nbsp;opinion editor, Michael Olenick, described Ellison’s writing as "a genuine threat to the long-term safety and well-being of the Jewish people, a threat that history dictates must not be ignored."</p>
<p>
"Time and time again my people have been slaughtered after the words of Hakim (Ellison) and those like him influenced the masses," Olenick writes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The media has never <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/265229/stop-lying-about-keith-ellisons-11-years-anti-daniel-greenfield">asked Ellison about any of this</a>. Instead it listened to him repeat the same lies.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In 1997, &nbsp;he was defending the Nation of Islam’s anti-Semitism and praising “Minister Farrakhan” as a “tireless servant of Black people”.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
In 1998,&nbsp;Ellison ran for office&nbsp;as affiliated with the Nation of Islam on a platform of, among other things, having Nation of Islam thugs patrol neighborhoods. He complained about a “propaganda war” being waged against “Minister Louis Farrakhan”.</p>
<p>
In 2000, Ellison is still referring to “Minister Farrakhan” and spewing NOI conspiracy theories.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Keith Ellison keeps lying because he keeps getting away with it. And that raises serious questions about his more recent details of a meeting with Farrakhan. If he won't stop lying about his support for the Nation of Islam then, why should anyone believe his claims now?</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The media loves fact checking almost as much as it loves lying.</p>
<p>
Whenever there's a story unfavorable to its narrative, it rolls out fake fact checks that spin or lie about what happened. An event unfavorable to its narrative happened when Jacob Shoemaker, an Ohio high school student was suspended for <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/16/ohio-student-suspended-for-staying-in-class-during-walkouts.html">refusing to participate in </a>the events arising from the anti-gun walkout.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
An Ohio high school student said he tried to stay apolitical during the National Walkout Day over gun violence but was suspended for his choice to remain in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, going to study hall.</p>
<p>
Jacob Shoemaker, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School, said he didn’t want to take sides in the gun-control debate consuming the country. If he went outside for the walkout, he said, he would be supporting gun control. If he stayed in the common area of the school, he said, he would be seen as supporting gun violence and disrespecting the 17 lives lost in the Parkland, Fla. High school shooting the month before.</p>
<p>
Jacob had met with the school’s principal on Tuesday, a day before the rally, for about an hour to find out what exactly the walkout was supporting. But he said the principal reportedly told him it was for the “students to express themselves.”</p>
<p>
This left Jacob wondering if it was a memorial for the lives lost or a show of support for gun control.</p>
<p>
He decided, instead, to stay in class for about 20 minutes doing homework after his teacher and fellow classmates left and locked the door.</p>
<p>
When they returned, he was slapped with a suspension.</p>
<p>
Jacob’s father, Scott Shoemaker, said his son was just trying to stay neutral – and did nothing wrong.</p>
<p>
“Politics [doesn’t] belong in the school,” he said. “Students shouldn’t be pressured into taking a side.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's a purely factual report from Fox News. And here's the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2018/03/16/a-student-was-suspended-after-staying-in-class-and-not-walking-out-heres-what-actually-happened/">fake news spin</a> from the Washington Post.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A student was suspended after staying in class and not walking out. Here’s what actually happened - Washington Post</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Spoiler alert. That's exactly what actually happened.</p>
<p>
The Amazon rag pretends that it's somehow disproving the story, when all it does is reaffirm it. Nevertheless the Post insists, "But that story isn’t exactly true."</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Jacob Shoemaker, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School in Hilliard, Ohio, was in fact suspended. But not because he chose not to join his classmates and the hundreds of thousands of students across the country who walked out of their classrooms to protest gun violence in the wake of a Florida school shooting that left 17 people dead. It was because he didn’t go to a designated area of the school where the non-protesters were supposed to be, and instead stayed by himself in a classroom.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The reason he stayed in the classroom was because he didn't want to participate in a political event, either by walking out or joining those who didn't want to walk out. It was the political event that disrupted the classroom. Shoemaker opted out of it.</p>
<p>
The suspension slip pretty clearly states the school's excuse that is the basis for WaPo's spin. There's no new information in its story. Just spin.</p>
<p>
Another <a href="http://www.indeonline.com/news/20180316/hilliard-student-wasnt-suspended-for-avoiding-gun-protest-but-internet-doesnt-believe-that/1">version of the spin</a> has school officials insisting absurdly,&nbsp;“We purposely let these students create these events to allow students to mourn and to avoid the politics, and now here we are getting taken to task for this,” Raterman said. “It’s a bit of a shame.”</p>
<p>
A walkout is not a memorial. They're two very different things.</p>
<p>
Walkouts are political. And there would have been no need for students to opt out of an actual memorial.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
This is why Team Coup shouldn't be on Twitter.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
John Brennan is Obama's former CIA bosses. Samantha Power isn't a former UN ambassador, but was<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/20/samantha-power-sought-to-unmask-americans-on-almost-daily-basis-sources-say.html"> allegedly closely involved</a> in Obama's own private Watergate.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was 'unmasking' at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016 – and even sought information in the days leading up to President Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources close to the matter told Fox News.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Two sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, said the requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reporting, known as unmasking, exceeded 260 last year. One source indicated&nbsp;this occurred in the final days of the Obama White House.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
There's absolutely no reason why a UN ambassador would need that level of eavesdropping on Americans. Especially when the Americans were likely Trump associates.</p>
<p>
So we've got the guy at the wheel when Obama Inc. blatantly abused its power threatening the President of the United States on Twitter. And Samantha Power turning that into a warning of the kind we would expect to see in Russia, not America. That's followed by the least convincing denial ever. Power was referring to the former CIA boss speaking out. That's generally why people are afraid of intel bosses.</p>
<p>
They're afraid of them speaking out.</p>
<p>
This thuggish behavior shows why the unmaskers need to be unmasked. We need an investigation that thoroughly exposes the abuses under Obama. And it should begin with declassifying the details of their unmasking and eavesdropping.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
This story should sound familiar.</p>
<p>
Here's McCabe, the former Dem allied FBI bigwig who stands accused of tampering with the investigation.&nbsp;"The investigation subsequently focused on who I talked to, when I talked to them, and so forth. During these inquiries, I answered questions truthfully and as accurately as I could amidst the chaos that surrounded me."</p>
<p>
That's largely the same defense used by Flynn and some other Trump associates. And of course the book was thrown at Flynn, not for what he did, but for the way he answered questions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
If McCabe shouldn't have lost his job, neither should Flynn. But we are in partisan territory. And Flynn was deliberately targeted by a political network that appears to have included his own predecessor, and likely guys like McCabe.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
What's good for the goose isn't supposed to be good for the gander. But once investigations are unleashed, the rules become consistent. Or at least somewhat consistent.</p>
<p>
The same media outlets turning McCabe into a martyr were happy to lynch Flynn. The same people who don't think you should lose your pension over a "mere technicality", think that Trump associates should go to prison for "mere technicalities."</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The New York Times has ignored a hate campaign waged in the media against Bari Weiss, one of its own writers, who was targeted for calling out left-wing anti-Semitism by, among others, the Women's March. Its reporting on Israel comes from an Electronic Intifada alum. Its storied history includes covering up the Holocaust and later genocidal efforts by Islamic terror groups that are fond of Hitler.</p>
<p>
So yes, it's a perfect time for the old gray lady to ask, "Anti-Semitism Is Rising. Why Aren't American Jews Speaking Up".</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
If not quite a crisis, it feels like a proto-crisis, something to head off, especially when the rise of anti-Semitism is combined with hate crimes against Muslims, blacks, Hispanics and immigrants. Yet U.S. Jewish leaders — the heads of influential, established organizations like the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Federations of North America — have been remarkably quiet, focused instead, as they have been for decades, on Israel, not the brewing storm in our own country.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Much of the anti-Semitism actually comes from Muslims. As amply documented by groups <a href="https://canarymission.org/">like Canary Mission</a> that track anti-Semitism on campus. Alt-right anti-Semitism on social media is ugly, but it's a lot less significant than Jewish students being intimidated, terrorized and assaulted in person on college campuses.</p>
<p>
And then there are <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/268811/3rd-us-imam-preaches-mass-murder-jews-daniel-greenfield">the mosques</a> calling for the<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268763/nazi-mosques-america-daniel-greenfield"> mass murder of Jews</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
It was another Friday night in the Islamic Center of Jersey City. And its imam, Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby, had some thoughts about the Jews.</p>
<p>
“So long as the Al-Aqsa Mosque remains a humiliated prisoner under the oppression of the Jews, this nation will never prevail,” he&nbsp;screamed belligerently&nbsp;in the&nbsp;World Trade Center bomber’s old mosque.</p>
<p>
"Count them one by one, and kill them down to the very last one. Do not leave a single one on the face of the Earth."</p>
<p>
On another Friday this year, in the&nbsp;Islamic Center of Davis, Imam Ammar Shahin implored, “Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews.”</p>
<p>
“Oh Allah, count them one by one and annihilate them down to the very last one.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
But that's not what Jonathan Weissman wants to talk about.&nbsp;And he accuses Jewish organizations of ignoring the problem, even as he bases his article on&nbsp;ADL&nbsp;stats.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"Posobiec has been one of the promulgators of fake news, including the “Pizzagate” story that claimed that Hillary Clinton helped run a child sex-trafficking ring out of a pizza parlor and the claim that a young Democratic National Committee staff member, Seth Rich, was murdered by the Clinton campaign."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I'm not even going to bother fact checking this, but what does Pizzagate or Seth Rich have to do with anti-Semitism?</p>
<p>
Weissman wants us to ignore the nearly daily murders and attempted murders of Jews in Israel to talk about Pizzagate. And he claims that it's Jewish orgs that are unserious about anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>
The rest is a muddled mess.</p>
<p>
Jonathan Weissman wants synagogues to talk about anti-Semitism, yet he doesn't talk about anti-Semitism. He wants to talk about how horrible the right is. But it's largely untethered to any Jewish issues.</p>
<p>
"And Jewish leadership must reflect its congregants, who are not sheep," Weissman writes.</p>
<p>
It's insulting. All the more so coming from the editor at a paper that is quite happy to ignore anti-Semitism when it comes from its political allies.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
That&nbsp;is a great way of putting it.</p>
<p>
Too many people act as if in the collision between the terrorists and their victims, it's the dead who should have known better than to go X or be at Y. Taylor Force's dad neatly reverses the question.</p>
<p>
But first a little bit<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/262115/how-us-taxpayers-funded-murder-iraq-vet-israel-daniel-greenfield"> about Taylor Force</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Taylor Force&nbsp;had been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, he had served at Fort Hood in the year of the infamous Islamic terrorist attack on the base, but a Jihadist finally caught up to the veteran, whose father and grandfather had also served their country, in civilian life during a visit to Israel.</p>
<p>
Palestinian Authority television&nbsp;called the terrorist&nbsp;who murdered an American, a Shaheed, a martyr for Islam.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Taylor Force's death helped inspire the Taylor Force Act that was meant to cut off aid to the PLO's Palestinian Authority until it stopped funding terrorists. The legislation was watered down by all the usual suspects. And it's still being obstructed in the Senate.</p>
<p>
Here, <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/243262">Taylor's father speaks</a> about his experiences.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Force’s father said that he is often asked “what was Taylor like?” to which he responds, “I always use the comparison with the table with the glass half full of water in it. The pessimist says it’s half empty, the optimist says the glass is half full. Taylor’s glass wasn’t a glass. It was a barrel, and it was full of life and he shared that with everybody. He was concerned more about other people than himself.”</p>
<p>
“Somebody came up to me one time and said, ‘I’m so sorry. Your son must’ve been in the wrong place at the wrong time.’ I corrected him. I said, ‘No. He was in the right place at the right time. He was doing what he wanted to do. He was learning about Israel and the Jewish culture. The terrorist was in the wrong place at the wrong time,’” added Stuart Force.</p>
<p>
“There’s no right place for terrorism. There’s no right time for terrorism, anywhere. Any country that cherishes freedom and human rights. And that’s why we’re involved in getting this legislation pass.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
And it's our duty to make every place a wrong place for Islamic terrorists.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
"The corporate media ignores the rise of oligarchy," Bernie <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/16/corporate-media-oligarchy-bernie-sanders">bloviates</a>&nbsp; in the Guardian.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"The rapid rise of oligarchy and wealth and income inequality is the great moral, economic, and political issue of our time. Yet, it gets almost no coverage from the corporate media."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The media actually covers little else. Its propaganda consists of gun control, racism and income inequality.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
What gets little coverage are&nbsp;Bernie's three homes, his 1 percenter status and how he made his money.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
&nbsp;How often does the media discuss the reality that our society today is more unequal than at any time since the 1920s with the top 0.1% now owning almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Constantly.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
How often does the media discuss the fact that <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/266624/how-bernie-sanders-wife-took-advantage-77-year-old-daniel-greenfield">Bernie's wife is under FBI investigation</a> for wrecking a college while feeding money to her daughter. And then walked away with a $200,000 payment?</p>
<p>
Why won't the "corporate media" talk about it?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
How often has ABC, CBS or NBC discussed the role that the&nbsp;Koch brothers&nbsp;and other billionaires play in creating a political system which allows the rich and the powerful to significantly control elections and the legislative process in Congress?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Constantly and obsessively. The Koch brothers are the ultimate conspiracy theory of the left. Meanwhile they won't talk about George Soros' war on democracy.</p>
<p>
But how often have they talked about the fact that Bernie's political machine is helping<a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269417/bernie-sanders-dynasty-daniel-greenfield"> two of his kids get into office</a>? Why won't the corporate media talk about the campaign funds that Bernie paid his wife and stepdaughter?</p>

<p>
We need to raise political consciousness in America and help us move forward with a progressive agenda that meets the needs of our working families. It’s up to us all to join the conversation – it’s just the beginning.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The only working family Bernie wants to help is his own clan. Forget his rhetoric. Judge politicians by their results.</p>
<p>
Bernie hasn't helped working families, but he sure has helped his own family. That's what real oligarchy looks like. And his gullible fans keep shoving more money into the Berniehole as long as he shouts stuff about the Koch brothers.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The Strzok texts continue to be the <a href="https://saraacarter.com/explosive-text-messages-reveal-judge-in-flynn-case-was-friends-with-strzok/">gift that keeps on giving.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Newly redacted text messages discovered by congressional investigators reveal that an embattled FBI agent at the center of the Russia investigation controversy was close friends with a District of Columbia judge who recused himself from the criminal case over former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, congressional members said, and text documents show.</p>
<p>
The never before seen text messages, which were a part of the texts given to Congress by the Department of Justice, show that FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour FBI attorney Lisa Page discussed Strzok’s relationship with U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras, who presided over a Dec. 1, 2017, hearing where former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.&nbsp;Strzok was removed from Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s Office last year after anti-Trump text messages between him and his FBI agent lover were discovered by the DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz.&nbsp;But on&nbsp;Dec. 7, without warning, Judge Rudolph Contreras was removed as the presiding judge on Flynn’s case. Little information was given at the time as to why Contreras was removed.</p>
<p>
Page: “Thought of it because you had to Google FISC judges and him there. I’m telling you.”</p>
<p>
Strzok: “….She brought up a good point about being circumspect in talking to him in terms of not placing him into a situation where he’d have to recuse himself.”</p>
<p>
Page: “I can’t imagine you either one of you could talk about anything in detail meaningful enough to warrant recusal.” Page then goes back to discussing a different issue saying, “Anyway, maybe you meant to, but didn’t.’</p>
<p>
Strzok: “Really? Rudy. I’m in charge of espionage for the FBI. Any espionage FISA comes before him, what should he do? Given his friend oversees them?”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
And that's the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/08/judge-recuses-himself-from-michael-flynn-case-but-nobody-knows-why/">more urgent part</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Contreras, an Obama appointee, is also a judge on the&nbsp;secret federal court which decides on requests for wiretap warrants on foreigners and U.S. citizens.</p>
<p>
In Sept. 2016, a judge on the court — the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court — granted as least one wiretap warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The judge who ruled on that warrant remains unidentified, as is usually the case with FISC proceedings.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
So we've got Strzok, taking out an anti-Trump insurance policy, while being on quite good terms with the judge who makes warrant decisions. It's inappropriate, but also commonplace in government.</p>
<p>
But this leads us to the <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/372043-memo-papadopoulos-info-triggered-fbis-russia-investigation">ground zero of Team Coup</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
But the memo states that FBI agent Pete Strzok opened the investigation in July 2016 based on "information" about Papadapoulos, rather than the dossier...</p>
<p>
&nbsp;After the counterintelligence investigation began, the memo states, the FBI used the Steele dossier, in part, to obtain surveillance warrants for Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who is not related to Lisa Page.</p>
<p>
Then-FBI Director&nbsp;James Comey&nbsp;sought and received a warrant to spy on Carter&nbsp;Page in October 2016, the document states.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Considering the problems with the entire investigation, especially the use of Clinton opposition research, did a personal relationship and political solidarity play a role?</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
You may have seen the headlines about&nbsp;Theranos whiz by. Elizabeth Holmes, its genius billionaire disruptor, has been exposed as a con artist. It's a long way down from being promoted by Obama to being exposed as a fraud. But&nbsp;Theranos&nbsp;had some serious, and seriously familiar, firepower in its corner.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Litigator David Boies served as outside counsel for the company&nbsp;for a period, as well as a board member.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's&nbsp;Boies, Schiller &amp; Flexner, LLP. You've heard the name more than a few times lately. They're closely tied to Clintonworld. (Not to mention the whole Harvey Weinstein thing.) The firm also represented Huma Abedin and Senator&nbsp;Gillibrand is a former partner.</p>
<p>
And then there's Fusion GPS. We couldn't deal with a major fraud case without their involvement.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"In the years before it produced the dossier, records show,&nbsp;Fusion&nbsp;worked to blunt aggressive reporting on the medical-device company&nbsp;Theranos, which was later found to have problems with its novel blood-testing technology."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The Clintons do keep the nicest company. But this is the organization whose "research" the media claims as being unchallengeable. It's just as solid as&nbsp;Theranos.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The EU vs. Google is very much an Alien vs. Predator scenario. But, not being a European, I currently find Google a lot scarier than the European Union. And the EU seems to be the only force pushing back against Google's troubling monopolistic power over the internet. This <a href="https://searchengineland.com/report-eu-ask-google-others-publicly-reveal-ranking-factors-294233">latest proposal </a>also shows why Google's unquestionable dominance is so troubling.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
According to a&nbsp;report&nbsp;from Reuters, the European Commission has proposed new rules that will require search engines, commerce sites and online platforms to explain how they rank results and to reveal why companies are penalized or removed from listings or results.</p>
<p>
The stated intention is to bring more transparency to these companies’ operations and help smaller competitors better understand what they’re required to do to appear and rank. It’s designed to redress the “superior bargaining power” of the large internet brands, according to language quoted by Reuters.</p>
<p>
While the proposal apparently “will not force companies to disclose their algorithms,” it will require descriptions and explanations of “how and to what extent the relevant ranking mechanism takes account of the quality of the products and services offered.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Google will be more unhappy.</p>
<p>
Most people still think that Google operates by its old PageRank setup. But it's not necessarily about popularity and Google can rig the game however it wants. This has really become a problem lately.</p>
<p>
If successful this will pull back the curtain on how the "front page of the internet" really works. It may not make a difference to most people, but it determines what you and most people see in searches. And that is a major factor in whether sites and businesses live or die.</p>
<p>
It's also a major issue in political campaigns.</p>
<p>
Google and Facebook have the power to drive negative or positive political coverage. And while Google, in the past, had been relatively neutral, its increasing politicization has begun to shape its search engine results.</p>
<p>
It's time to take a closer look.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
This is exactly the sort of smear that the media has been using against Jared and Ivanka. Yet it's curiously uninterested in talking about these issues when it comes<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equity-firm-run-by-kerry-and-bidens-kids/"> to their own candidates</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
What Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's right. Biden's son and Kerry's stepson were in business together. The sons of the two leading administration foreign policy figures in Obama Inc. were doing business with foreign countries.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The three friends established a series of related LLCs. The trunk of the tree was Rosemont Capital, the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
John Kerry, please pick up the red courtesy phone.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The small fund grew quickly. According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as “a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz,” with Devon Archer as “Managing Partner.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's quite successful for two guys operating out of Washington D.C.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Less than a year after opening Rosemont Seneca’s doors, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were in China, having secured access at the highest levels. Thornton Group’s account of the meeting on their Chinese-language website was telling: Chinese executives “extended their warm welcome” to the “Thornton Group, with its US partner Rosemont Seneca chairman Hunter Biden (second son of the now Vice President Joe Biden).”</p>
<p>
The purpose of the meetings was to “explore the possibility of commercial cooperation and opportunity.” Curiously, details about the meeting do not appear on their English-language website.</p>
<p>
Also, according to the Thornton Group, the three Americans met with the largest and most powerful government fund leaders in China — even though Rosemont was both new and small.</p>
<p>
The timing of this meeting was also curious. It occurred just hours before Hunter Biden’s father, the vice president, met with Chinese President Hu in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit.</p>

That's quite impressive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Most people who start a fund don't suddenly get access to top Chinese leaders. And the timing is fantastic.&nbsp;Hunter Biden was meeting with Chinese government fund leaders while his father was meeting Hu.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
If this was the Trump family, it would be on the front page of the New York Times. But since it's Biden, it's just business as usual.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The story of the <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269525/sanctuary-city-mayor-protected-illegal-alien-daniel-greenfield">Oakland mayor</a> who tipped off illegal alien criminals to ICE raids resulting in <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269486/how-many-child-rapists-did-sanctuary-city-mayor-daniel-greenfield">rapists and child sex offenders escaping arrest </a>just keeps <a href="http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/13/emails-reveal-details-oakland-mayor-ice-raid-warning/">getting worse.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf shocked the nation when she issued a tweet and press release on February 24 warning about impending ICE raids.</p>
<p>
Schaaf refuses to say how she learned about the ICE raids, only saying it was not from official sources.</p>
<p>
“I felt that it was my duty to share the information,” Schaaf said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Whatever the leak pipeline looked like, it's good odds that it began with Obama holdovers ensconced in the government.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In emails we obtained through a public records request, we didn’t find out who her sources were, but we do know who she was talking to before she made her big announcement.</p>
<p>
Emails reveal that hours before the announcement, a group called Centro Legal de la Raza sent the mayor information on what employers should do in case of an ICE raid.</p>
<p>
Hours before the public was warned about ICE raids, some Oakland businesses got a head start, thanks to the mayor.</p>
<p>
According to emails, the Oakland Indie Alliance, a group of independent businesses, got a message saying “Important Alert! Credible information ICE Raids in Oakland Sunday 2/25 and Monday 2/26” and “This information comes directly from the Mayor.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Now that last part is significant. Because <a href="https://fairus.org/issue/illegal-immigration/law-against-hiring-or-harboring-illegal-aliens">there is no doubt</a> that businesses employing illegal aliens are committing a crime.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
It is unlawful to hire an alien, to recruit an alien, or to refer an alien for a fee, knowing the alien is unauthorized to work in the United States..</p>
<p>
An employer can be convicted of the felony of harboring illegal aliens who are his employees if he takes actions in reckless disregard of their illegal status, such as ordering them to obtain false documents, altering records, obstructing INS inspections, or taking other actions that facilitate the alien’s illegal employment.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Any business that tips off illegal aliens admits that it is aware of their status. By passing along the warning, Mayor Schaaf was tipping off criminals committing a felony.&nbsp;</p><div class="feedflare">

Before Bush won, plenty of celebs threatened to move to Canada. After Bush won, they realized how much they liked living in California. But give Matt Damon some credit, he's not just moving to Canada, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2018/03/15/matt-damon-moving-family-to-australia-because-of-trump/">but to Australia.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Matt Damon&nbsp;is moving his family to Australia — in part because the liberal star’s fed up with&nbsp;President Trump.</p>
<p>
A source exclusively tells Page Six: “Matt’s telling friends and colleagues in Hollywood that he’s moving the family to Australia” because the activist actor disagrees with Trump’s policies.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Sorry Aussies, but better you than us.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Nothing says real patriotism like moving to Australia to lead the "resistance" there. At least until a more conservative government rises in Australia. And then maybe he can move to Canada or China. That's Hollywood's biggest market and the future of its garbage CG cartoon industry.</p>
<p>
The question is how many Hollywood celebs can Trump drive out of this country before the wall goes up? I'm as tough on illegal aliens as it gets, but given a choice between letting in an MS-13 gang member or Matt Damon, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, etc... I'll take the gang member any day.</p>
<p>
But how high do we need to build the wall to keep out private jets?&nbsp;</p><div class="feedflare">

<blockquote>
<p>
A Florida teenager -- who had previously been investigated for "alleged violent tendencies" -- watched jihadist videos and read the Koran "to give him courage" before stabbing a 13-year-old boy to death and seriously injuring two others at a birthday sleepover Monday, cops said.</p>
<p>
Johnson reportedly told police he woke up at 4 a.m. Monday at Kyle Bancroft’s home and had an urge to kill Kyle’s mother, Elaine Simon; Kyle’s brother, 13-year-old Dane Bancroft; and Dane’s friend, 13-year-old Jovanni Sierra. The three victims were each asleep at the time, the Post reported.</p>
<p>
"In his statement, Johnson advised he stabbed the victims because of his Muslim faith," the affidavit stated.</p>
<p>
Johnson and Kyle Bancroft allegedly watched violent jihadist videos the night before the 17-year-old carried out the deadly stabbing. Using a knife he brought to the home, Johnson stabbed Sierra multiple times before slitting his throat.</p>
<p>
He later told authorities he was upset Sierra, who turned 13 on Monday, called celebrities “gods” because it went against his Muslim faith. Johnson also said Dane made fun of his Islamic faith.</p>
<p>
The teen told police he read the Koran before going to the sleepover "to give him courage to carry out his intentions,” according to an affidavit.</p>

If we can just save one life... or 3,000.&nbsp;</p>

We can't live with Car Jihad, with bombs in random places, with hijacked airplanes, . with mass shootings in nightclubs and at parties and with sleepover stabbings.

<p>
I've written <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/268845/scientific-american-officially-joke-daniel-greenfield">often enough</a> about how much the Scientific American has to do with lefty culture wars and how little it has to do with science. But now it had to actually pretend that Obama's <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/why-are-white-men-stockpiling-guns/">"bitter clingers" </a>slur is science.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?&nbsp;Research suggests&nbsp;it's largely because&nbsp;they're anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market&nbsp;and beset by racial fears</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
By research, SA means the prejudices of the people doing this "research".&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The American citizen most likely to own a gun is a&nbsp;white male</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
A member of the majority of the population is most likely to own a gun? #Science</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
When Northland College sociologist Angela Stroud&nbsp;studied&nbsp;applications for licenses to carry concealed firearms in Texas, which exploded after President Obama was elected, she found applicants were overwhelmingly dominated by white men. In interviews, they told her that they wanted to protect themselves and the people they love.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
So obviously she decided that they're insecure and racist.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“When men became fathers or got married, they started to feel very vulnerable, like they couldn’t protect families,” she says. “For them, owning a weapon is part of what it means to be a good husband a good father.” That meaning is “rooted in fear and vulnerability—very motivating emotions.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Much like making sure your house has a front door and a gate. What percentage of the population is "stockpiling" doors?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
But Stroud also discovered another motivation: racial anxiety. “A lot of people talked about how important Obama was to get a concealed-carry license: ‘He’s for free health care, he’s for welfare.’ They were asking, ‘Whatever happened to hard work?’” Obama’s presidency, they feared, would empower minorities to threaten their property and families.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Clearly, racism. They object to free handouts. Therefore they're racist and want to buy guns to shoot black people.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
This is what the Scientific American looks like today.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
&nbsp;“Put simply, owners who are more attached to their guns are most likely to believe that guns are a solution to our social ills,” says Froese.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Put simply, lefties are more attached to the government and more likely to believe that government men with guns are a solution to our social ills.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Irving ISD, the city of Irving and several individuals by the father of a teen who was arrested after bringing to school a homemade clock that was mistaken for a bomb.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
Of course it's Qatar. It's always Qatar.</p>

White House officials also extended the teen an invitation to speak with NASA scientists and astronauts.&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>

Conservative commentator and activist Ben Shapiro&nbsp;happily announced&nbsp;the lawsuit against him by Ahmed Muhammed, dubbed “clock boy,” was dismissed on Wednesday with attorney’s fees awarded to Shapiro.</p>

Free speech won a victory in Texas on Tuesday when a judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit by Mohamed Mohamed, father of the “Clock Boy,” Ahmed Mohamed, against me, my employer — the Center for Security Policy — Fox News, Glenn Beck, and others including the mayor of Irving, Texas.

<p>
Sorry folks.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
I know you like the Bill of Rights, but our Hollywood corporate overlords have spoken. And they <a href="http://blog.viacom.com/2018/03/viacom-to-support-courageous-youth-activists-who-have-had-enough-of-gun-violence/">will no longer tolerate these</a> Second Amendment shenanigans.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
"Viacom to Support Courageous Youth Activists Who Have Had Enough of Gun Violence"</p>
<p>
Let me <a href="http://blog.viacom.com/2018/03/viacom-to-support-courageous-youth-activists-who-have-had-enough-of-gun-violence/">rephrase that PRspeak</a> in realspeak. "Viacom to Fund Radical Left-Wing Groups Using Youth Activists as Hand Puppets. Something Viacom Has Plenty of Experience With Thanks to MTV."</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
This series of efforts across&nbsp;MTV,&nbsp;BET,&nbsp;Nickelodeon,&nbsp;Paramount Network,&nbsp;Comedy Central,&nbsp;TV Land,&nbsp;CMT and other properties will include partnerships with a coalition of organizations and students that are working to make America’s schools safer and reduce gun violence.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I'm sure CMT viewers will really appreciate it. And TV Land viewers too.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“This generation continues to be the driving force for change,” said Viacom Executive Vice President of Global Inclusion Marva Smalls. “With more than 17 young people dying from gun violence every single day, unfortunately no community is safe. We believe it’s critical to support the inspiring efforts of our youth, who are literally fighting for their lives. Viacom also has a responsibility to our audiences to do everything we can to elevate the many brave and bold activists to help them extend the reach and impact of their voices in this important movement.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That's based on a claim by Bloomberg's Everytown, which was even called out by the media for peddling hoax shooting statistics after Parkland. But what's not good enough for the media still works at Viacom.</p>
<p>
Viacom means Paramount. Its productions include the Terminator and Mission Impossible movies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
If it's really serious about teaching young people not to kill, maybe it should stop producing violent action movies instead of trying to take away the civil rights of half the country? But that would cut into its profit margins. It's cheaper to be hypocrites while donating cash to the cause. Just ask Harvey Weinstein.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Get Schooled, an organization founded through a partnership between Viacom and the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, will expand its efforts to educate young people on the actions they can take to participate in the national discussion.</p>

<p>
What would young people ever do without being indoctrinated by Bill Gates and the studio behind Terminator 8: No One's Watching This One Either.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
That "Two State Solution" that is an article of faith from AIPAC to the DNC is certainly doing well. Not just the Israel-PLO Solution, but dividing PLO territory up between Hamas and the PLO.</p>
<p>
Here's<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/13/middleeast/palestinian-pm-gaza-explosion-intl/index.html"> the latest report</a> about what those crazy terrorist kids have been up to.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah survived an assassination attempt in northern Gaza on Tuesday morning, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency.</p>
<p>
Hamdallah, who was making a short trip to the coastal enclave to mark the opening of a new water treatment facility, had just passed through the Erez border crossing from Israel when a bomb detonated near his convoy, tearing the siding off at least one black SUV and blowing out the car's windows.</p>
<p>
No one was injured in the attack, said Iyad Al-Bozom, spokesman for the Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security, in a Facebook post. Palestinian Authority Minister of Intelligence Majid Faraj, a close ally of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbbas, was also in the convoy.</p>
<p>
In a sign of longstanding animosity between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, Fatah -- which governs the West Bank and controls the Palestinian Authority -- immediately blamed the Islamist movement in Gaza for the attack.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Before trying to bring peace between Israel and the Islamic colonial terrorists, maybe they should make peace between the rival terrorist groups? If they can't get along with each other, how are they supposed to get along with the hated Jews?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Hamdallah is making his third visit to Gaza following the beginning of reconciliation efforts between the Authority and Hamas late last year. The two reached an&nbsp;agreement to form a national unity government&nbsp;in October after a decade of failed attempts and often bitter acrimony.</p>
<p>
But reconciliation efforts stalled shortly thereafter, despite efforts by Egypt, which moderated the initial agreement, to keep pressing forward.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Since it's CNN, the article quickly pivots to blaming Israel. But after all these reconciliation efforts, it's clear that Islamic terrorists can't make peace with each other. How can Israel be expected to make peace with them?<br>

<p>
The hysteria over Trump's tariffs&nbsp;shows how a libertarian conviction in the absolute goodness of unrestricted trade (the wisdom of the market) leads to the same end result as its leftist opposite numbers. No ideology is perfect. Nor does obedience to any such magical force supersede the right of the people to decide their own affairs. And that includes their own economic affairs.</p>
<p>
These arguments have been with us since the days of Alexander Hamilton. And, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/03/13/finch-hysteria-trump-tariffs/">writing at Breitbart</a>, the Freedom Center's own Michael Finch questions the tariff hysteria.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
And enough about this small, targeted tariff causing a trade war. The good folks in Peoria, Youngstown, Flint and so many more cities in the Heartland will argue that we have been in a trade war for decades – one we are losing. And yes, making steel is important and, yes, it is in our national security interests to keep making steel.&nbsp;Trump is correct:&nbsp;if you don’t have steel, you don’t have a country. Can one imagine us winning WWII if we didn’t have a steel industry?</p>
<p>
Further, selected and targeted tariffs are good policy. For instance, the United States imposes&nbsp;a zero percent tariff&nbsp;on motorcycles imported from India while India has a&nbsp;100 percent tariff&nbsp;on American motorcycles. Why would we allow this? Trump is seeking to mirror the tariffs imposed on goods from nations that have large tariffs against us.&nbsp;He can work out better deals with allies and nations that work with us; in fact, Trump has already&nbsp;relaxed the tariff&nbsp;against Mexico and Canada.&nbsp;After all this time, do people not see that Trump is always working for a deal?</p>
<p>
“Free” Trade is not free; moreover, it needs to be fair. Free trade has hollowed out the middle of the country and almost destroyed our manufacturing base. It has destroyed families and livelihoods. Maybe that is just too hard to see from Newport Beach, San Francisco, or Manhattan.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Those are all excellent points. (And you can read the rest at Breitbart.)</p>
<p>
A rising stock market is great, but it's the beginning of an economic recovery. Not the end of it. It's certainly not enough for the people who came out in unprecedented numbers from parts of the country that have been left behind to vote for Trump. The places that Hillary Clinton refers to as "backward" compared to San Francisco.</p>

<a href="https://qatarileaks.com/en">QatariLeaks</a>, a site which has been reporting on abuses from the terror kingdom has chosen to spotlight Front Page Magazine's reporting in this video and chart. The video is based on Front Page Magazine's story, "<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269537/forget-russia-what-about-qatar-daniel-greenfield">Forget Russia, What About Qatar</a>."</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Qatar’s influence operations took an ominous turn when Elliott Broidy, a top Trump donor, had his emails hacked by individuals he alleges were Qatari agents. The leaked emails play into Qatar’s conflict with the UAE. The emails have predictably popped up on Al Jazeera and Broidy had previously been targeted by&nbsp;The Intercept&nbsp;for a panel at which Steve Bannon had criticized Qatar.</p>
<p>
"We have reason to believe this hack was sponsored and carried out by registered and unregistered agents of Qatar seeking to punish Mr Broidy for his strong opposition to state-sponsored terrorism," Broidy's spokesman said.</p>
<p>
These two incidents of alleged Qatari espionage against Americans in order to influence our foreign policy raise serious questions. Yet the same media that obsessively searches for Russian bots on Reddit and Facebook seems entirely disinterested in discussing the subject. Skeptics of Russian influence have been told to put country ahead of party, but when will the left finally put country ahead of Qatar?</p>
<p>
Perversely, instead of investigating the role of Qatar in influencing American elections, Mueller is reportedly taking the Qatari propaganda at face value and directing his investigation accordingly.</p>

<p>
The astroturf "student protests" are the left's last desperate effort to retain the political momentum from the Parkland school shootings. And the media keeps promoting what amounts to a political ditch day.</p>
<p>
Are a bunch of students going to leave? Of course. They're teenagers. If I were still in school, I would have seized the day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Is disrupting education for a political agenda the responsible thing to do? The media certainly thinks so. When it agrees with the agenda.</p>
<p>
Imagine if there was a similar protest to oppose abortion? The media wouldn't be churning out the same tedious "student courage" propaganda. Instead it would connect them to the conservative groups organizing it. It would bemoan the educational disruption of a walkout and it would focus on the students who are opposed to the protest.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
It's only when students support a cause, that the media supports them. And forget the "student survivor" stuff. The media has shown no reluctance in smearing Parkland student survivors who don't parrot its agenda. CNN's slimy war against one student was far uglier than any of the supposed conservative critiques that the media chose to highlight. The media's campaign against Kyle Kashuv is just as ugly.</p>
<p>
The media likes to pretend that it's for education. It's not for education. It's for indoctrination.</p>

<p>
In Jane Mayer's New Yorker hagiography of Steele, the urine story came from multiple sources (none of whom were in the room at the time which tells you how worthless they are).</p>
<p>
But David Corn and Michael Isikoff, who are even bigger insiders in Steeleworld than Mayer, have their own version of the story.&nbsp;Corn was the first guy on the ground and the FBI had used Isikoff's&nbsp;version of Steele's material to corroborate Steele's account (it's the old GIGO principle) to spy on Trump associates.</p>
<p>
Here's <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/13/russian-roullette-book-steele-dossier-source/">their version of the</a> story.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
During the 2016 presidential campaign, the founder of the opposition research firm behind the Steele dossier tipped a major news network off to Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born businessman who has been identified as a source for the salacious claims made in the dossier.</p>
<p>
Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS, provided the tip to ABC News despite having doubts about the veracity of Millian’s claims about President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>
According to Isikoff and Corn, former British spy Christopher Steele revealed to Simpson that Millian was “Source D” for the dossier, which was funded by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.</p>
<p>
“Simpson would later learn from Steele the identity of Source D, the main source for the ‘golden showers’ allegation: It was Sergei Millian,” the book reads.</p>
<p>
“Source D” is described in a June 20, 2016, memo written by Steele as “a close associate of TRUMP who had organized and managed his recent trips to Moscow.” The dossier claims that the source — now known as Millian — confirmed that the Kremlin had been feeding the Trump team intelligence on Clinton</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
We've gone from claims that the dossier is so secret that we shouldn't even talk about it, because any mention of it might get people killed, to Fusion GPS casually passing names along to ABC News.</p>
<p>
What kind of intel operative passes along the names of sources to the media? The kind who isn't taking this very seriously. Because it's not.</p>
<p>
If Steele were really the figure that his media PR corps want to pretend he is, then he was uncovering a Russian intelligence operation to control the future president of the United States. And he would treat sources in that investigation very carefully.</p>
<p>
But clearly that wasn't happening. And the whole story is ridiculous.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Isikoff and Corn report that Millian was not aware his comments were being used to spy on Trump. “Like all of those who had spoken to Steele’s collector, Millian was an unwitting source; he had no idea his conversation with the collector would be passed along to Trump’s political foes,” they wrote.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
So we've got a guy who is high placed enough to be privy to all this juicy Kompromat, yet clueless about why a former Brit intel officer might be asking him about this?</p>
<p>
Again, how stupid does this gang think we are?</p>
<p>
Why claim that Millian didn't know? Because it protects the political credibility of the dossier. This way Republicans can't claim that the Russians were planting the information. But it discredits the whole process.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“The memo had described Millian as a Trump intimate, but there was no public evidence he was close to the mogul at that time or was in Moscow during the Miss Universe event,” the book reads.&nbsp;“Had Millian made something up or repeated rumors he had heard from others to impress Steele’s collector? Simpson had his doubts. He considered Millian a big talker.”</p>
<p>
Those doubts did not stop Simpson from telling ABC News about Millian, whose real name is Siarhei Kukuts.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
This is one serious investigation.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Reached by The Daily Caller News Foundation, Millian disputed Steele’s claims and the new book.</p>
<p>
“It’s all garbage news,” he told TheDCNF.</p>
<p>
“Never happened,” he added, saying that he “was not in Moscow on that night.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Wouldn't be the first time. The Steele dossier had similarly placed Michael Cohen where he wasn't.</p><div class="feedflare">

Andre Carson: I&#039;ll Go On Meeting With Farrakhan If I Want Tohttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/the-point/~3/oIr-G6QRaXk/rep-andre-carson-ill-go-meeting-farrakhan-if-i-daniel-greenfield
<p>
The Democrats and Farrakhan are a marriage made in hell. And the marriage isn't going anywhere.</p>
<p>
That's one reason you see so many progressive media apologists for the "complex interplay" of the "black community and the Nation of Islam." After a lot of pressure, some of the usual suspects offered tepid condemnations. There's been a series of generic non-statements from Obama Inc. Tamika Mallory of the Women's March threw a self-righteous tantrum full of intersec-speak. Linda Sarsour isn't likely to disavow a guy who hates Jews almost as much as she does. Keith Ellison shrugged off the question in a previous statement. His fellow Muslim Dem <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/tim-swarens/2018/03/13/swarens-andre-carson-wont-rule-out-future-meetings-louis-farrakhan/415971002/">won't even disavow</a> Farrakhan's remarks.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In a 50-minute phone interview on&nbsp;Friday, Carson avoided criticizing Farrakhan directly, declined to characterize Farrakhan's remarks as "hate speech," and would not rule out meeting with Farrakhan in the future to discuss policy concerns.</p>
<p>
A bit of context: In late February, Farrakhan during a speech in Chicago declared,&nbsp;“Powerful Jews are my enemy.” He also said Jews are&nbsp;“responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out turning men into women and women into men."&nbsp;&nbsp;And he added this: “White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew, and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through.”</p>
<p>
I asked Carson if he would rule out any future meetings with Farrakhan. "No meetings are planned," he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
But will you make it a matter of principle not to meet with him because of his anti-Semitic comments? "I often attend banquets and other events where I don't know who will be seated near me," Carson said.</p>
<p>
That can be&nbsp;hard to control, I agreed. But will you rule out another meeting like the one you had with Farrakhan in 2015? Carson&nbsp;would not say that, even after&nbsp;I circled back to the question later in the interview.</p>
<p>
Carson's refusal to stand unequivocally&nbsp;against Farrakhan's hatred is disturbing. It should be easy for him to say, "I'll never again meet with Louis Farrakhan to discuss public policy or any other issue."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Instead, like Tamika Mallory and some others, Rep. Carson is going into the "I'm being bullied" mode.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In a flash of anger, the congressman reserved his strongest comments during our interview for WIBC talk show host Tony Katz, who's been sharply critical of Carson recently for refusing to denounce Farrakhan.</p>
<p>
"I think what Tony Katz is doing on WIBC is hate speech," Carson said. "He's putting my life and my children's lives in jeopardy. He's jeopardizing the lives of staff members in my office."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I don't recall Tony Katz killing anyone. The Nation of Islam is another story.</p>
<p>
But these are also standard Intersec tactics. Accuse your critics of hate speech and demand a safe space. Claim that there are death threats coming your way to evade criticism.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Never mind that all this is a show you're putting on to defend your ties to a racist hate group that actually does make people unsafe because of its violent racism and ugly history. The pals of the NOI are the real victims. And Farrakhans and the Dems are staying a couple.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
When it came to Iran, the Obama holdovers had two guys who were on the same basic page with them: Tillerson and McMaster. Now Tillerson is gone and McMaster is rumored to be next.</p>
<p>
And <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com.au/trump-fired-tillerson-iran-deal-disagreement-2018-3">the Iran Deal is</a> certainly one of the issues at stake.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he&nbsp;dismissed Rex Tillerson as secretary of state&nbsp;at least in part over a disagreement on how best to proceed with the Iran deal.</p>
<p>
“We got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things,” Trump said as he boarded the Marine One presidential helicopter en route to view prototypes for his proposed border wall.</p>
<p>
“When you look at the Iran deal, I thought it was terrible. He thought it was ok. I wanted to either break it or do something, he felt a little differently,” Trump said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Senator Corker, the inside man on the Iran Deal on the GOP side, is <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&amp;objectid=12012228">also none too happy</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Sen. Bob Corker, the Foreign Relations Committee chairman, says President Donald Trump's decision to fire his chief diplomat caught him by surprise.</p>
<p>
The Tennessee Republican, who has been Rex Tillerson's most vocal supporter on Capitol Hill, acknowledged "there's been tensions" between Tillerson and Trump.</p>
<p>
On Tuesday, Corker said, "I have a lot of faith in Tillerson's judgment. I've shared that with the president many times."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I doubt that did Tillerson any favors.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
It's not just about the Iran Deal, but the deal had become emblematic of the clash between the establishment and Team Trump. And Trump is making big changes to foreign policy from tariffs to Jerusalem. While domestic policy has been fairly Trumpist, foreign policy wasn't. And that may be about to change in a very big way.</p>
<p>
What might that mean? The Jerusalem move and tariffs are the first taste. A pullout from Afghanistan and a more serious trade war might be coming. It's about to get really interesting.&nbsp;</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
I don't think <a href="https://saraacarter.com/former-dni-james-clapper-allegedly-leaked-to-cnn-investigation-revealed/#">anyone is too surprised</a>.</p>
<p>
Clapper ended up on CNN. And usually there's some sort of preexisting relationship there. Government insiders cultivate media contacts. They build up a relationship by leaking the information they want out there. And there's the understanding that when they leave the government, there might be some sort of expert or commentator slot available for them. Not always, but if they're important enough.</p>
<p>
And as Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper was certainly important.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly leaked information to CNN early last year regarding the classified briefings given to then President-Elect Donald Trump and President Barrack Obama on the salacious dossier claiming the Russians had compromising information on the president-elect, according to government sources, who noted the evidence of the leak was collected during the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation.</p>
<p>
Clapper, who was one of four senior Obama administration officials to attend the briefing with the presidents, also stated his “profound dismay at the leaks” in an official statement issued in January, 2017 and warned that the leaks were “extremely corrosive and damaging” to national security, according to his press release. &nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
And he was shocked at all the gambling going on in Rick's Cafe.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, at the behest of embattled research firm Fusion GPS, was already being shopped around by Steele to journalists in Washington as early as the summer of 2016, according to reports. At the time, journalists who had heard of the dossier were reluctant to publish the findings because of its unverified content. “[Clapper] gave the dossier legs and news agencies began to publish its contents because it had now become official news…”</p>
<p>
But it was when CNN published the first report that Trump and Obama had been briefed the dossier’s findings that other news agencies began to report on it. The committee found evidence that Clapper, who is now a contributor at CNN, contacted CNN shortly before the story was published by Tapper, Evan Perez, and Jim Sciutto.</p>
<p>
The story detailed the briefings given to Trump by the senior officials on the contents of the dossier and “gave the dossier legs and news agencies began to publish its contents because it had now become official news,” one congressional source told this reporter.</p>
<p>
Shortly after CNN published the report, Buzzfeed made the decision to post the entire 35-page dossier and referenced the CNN report in its decision to publish it, according to the website.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Buzzfeed's greed didn't do the dossier any favors.&nbsp; But this is a bit of insight into how the echo chamber works. Obama was briefed on the dossier to make it official. (Same reason Rice sent herself an email.) CNN got the exclusive from Clapper. Everyone could claim plausible deniability. The briefing made the dirty tricks officials. Even though everyone being briefed on it had no doubt been quite familiar with the dossier. CNN could claim that it was reporting official events. The echo chamber stretched across government and the media. And they colluded with each other on a common political goal.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
If Obama were in office, the story coming out of the current shakeup (and there were plenty of those in the foreign policy sector under Obama) would be the rise of the CIA's first female director. Since it's Trump, the media just sticks to its conspiracy theories. These mainly involve Secretary of State Tillerson&nbsp;leaving because he confirmed that the UK assassinations were the work of the Russians. Never mind that 90% of Trump's comments on the subject said the same thing (but the media predictably focused on some ambiguous phrasing at the very end.)</p>
<p>
And the one outlet that chose to make Gina Haspel the story is predictably <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/03/13/gina-haspel-trump-nominee-first-woman-leader-cia/419547002/">painting her as controversial</a> because she's mean to Islamic terrorists.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Gina Haspel, President Trump’s nominee to become the first woman to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, made her career in covert action, but her involvement in controversial interrogations has already provoked Senate opposition to her confirmation.</p>
<p>
Haspel, who joined the CIA in 1985, earned high-level awards during her career&nbsp;and was sworn in as deputy director of the agency on Feb. 7, 2017. In that post, she assists managing intelligence collection, analysis, covert action and counterintelligence.</p>
<p>
However, Haspel's past in the agency is&nbsp;already drawing opposition to her potential promotion. She reportedly ran a secret prison in Thailand in 2002 where terrorism suspects were waterboarded and subjected to other so-called enhanced interrogations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Christopher Anders, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington legislative office, called Haspel the “central figure in one of the most illegal and shameful chapters in modern American history.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
ACLU opposition is as good as an endorsement. Anyone the ACLU would support would be completely wrong for the job. And anyone the media didn't try to slime out of the gate would be unqualified.</p>
<p>
But once again we see the media playing its usual game. When women run on the Democrat ticket, the media pretends it's some sort of feminist statement. But when a woman heads the CIA, then it's bad news. This isn't about feminism. The only women that the left supports are... on the left.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The first rule of Muslim&nbsp;grooming gangs is that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5489911/Telford-whistleblowers-raised-fears-scandal-silenced.html#ixzz59WjhzLQB">no one is allowed to mention them</a>. Not even when they abuse 1,000 girls.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A pair of whistleblowers who raised fears over the Telford child sex abuse scandal which affected up to 1,000 girls were both punished and silenced, it emerged today.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The brutal sex gang targeted the innocent girls over a 40-year period in what may be Britain's 'worst ever' child abuse scandal.</p>
<p>
Girls in the town of Telford in Shropshire were drugged, beaten and raped at the hands of the violent groom gang which was active since the 1980s.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
According to the&nbsp;Mirror, police chaplain Keith Osmund-Smith was suspended after he passed papers to the newspaper and a report commissioned by the council revealed social workers knew of the sex crimes before the turn of the millennium.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, a woman who was hired by sex abuse charity Axis Counselling, based in Shrewsbury, was forced to leave her role after she tried to speak up.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
This is what the Immigration Firsters were covering up.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Lucy Lowe, 16, died alongside her mother and sister after the man who had been abusing her, 26-year-old Azhar Ali Mehmood, set fire to their house.</p>
<p>
The taxi-driver first targeted Lucy in 1997. She gave birth to his child when she was just 14.</p>
<p>
Mehmood was jailed for murdering Lucy, her mother Eileen and her sister Sarah, 17.</p>
<p>
However, he was never arrested or charged with any sex abuse crimes over his involvement with the young girl.</p>
<p>
Another victim, who was drugged and gang raped by nine men two years later, said that Lucy's death was used as a warning to other girls who might speak out.</p>
<p>
The schoolgirl, who remains anonymous, said she was driven to try to kill herself.</p>
<p>
She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I was scared my family would die like Lucy's. I thought they'd only be safe if I killed myself.'</p>
<p>
In 2002 another schoolgirl was killed in an unexplained car accident in Telford.</p>
<p>
Becky Watson, 13, was killed after a car she was in crashed. At the time the incident was reported as a 'prank'.</p>
<p>
However, it was revealed she had suffered two years of sex abuse at the hands of a grooming gang, which began when she was 11.</p>
<p>
In tragic diary entries she told of how she was forced to 'sleep around'.</p>
<p>
Her mother, Torron Watson, went to the police on a number of occasion and even handed them a list of suspects. But nothing was done.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Of course not. Because Muslim sex grooming gangs, like Islamic terror, is just one of those benefits of immigration that you're expected to get used to. Along with the rising crime, drug dealing and Sharia police.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Mubarek Ali, 34, sold teenage girls, some as young as 13, for sex above an Indian restaurant in Telford, Shropshire, after grooming them.</p>
<p>
His brother Ahdel Ali, 27, was handed a 26-year sentence after the pair sexually abused, trafficked, prostituted or tried to prostitute four teenagers.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Mubarek was scheduled for release&nbsp;last year.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
That explains why she didn't campaign in Wisconsin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
I'm starting to think Trudeau only had the second worst trip to India by a lefty Western pol.&nbsp;Hillary isn't bitter. She's just sour and filled with hate. And the things she's saying are bad enough.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“If you look at the map of the United States, there’s all that red in the middle where Trump won. I win the coast, I will Illinois, Minnesota, places like that... I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic product. So&nbsp;I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward.&nbsp;And his whole campaign 'Make America Great Again,' was looking backwards."</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
You know you didn’t like black people getting rights. You don’t like women getting jobs. You don’t like seeing that Indian American succeeding more than you.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
As my wife points out, good thing nothing is produced in Texas. Not much going on economically in North Dakota or Florida either. But at least she won Minnesota.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Clearly, Hillary Clinton is too good for America. We never deserved her. Maybe she can settle for being president of an optimistic, diverse and dynamic Silicon Valley company. I hear Friendster has an opening.</p>
<p>
And for the <a href="https://ntknetwork.com/clinton-white-women-voted-for-trump-because-their-husbands-told-them-to/">horrible finishing touch</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“[Democrats] do not do well with white men and we don’t do well with married, white women,” Clinton explained. “And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Only the women who voted for Hillary are independent thinkers.</p>
<p>
So it's obvious. She's running again in 2020. "Make America Whine Again".</p>

<p>
Arnie is running out of options. After his disastrous time in politics, he tried to go back into acting. But he only went into politics because nobody was <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=arnoldschwarzenegger.htm">watching his movies </a>anymore.</p>
<blockquote>

<p>
After he tried to get back to "acting", it just got worse.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>

</blockquote>
<p>
They don't even bother listing Killing Gunther. It went direct to video.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
So Arnie is getting back into politics. He's campaigning for "redistricting reform" and now <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/03/12/arnold-schwarzenegger-sxsw-trump-big-oil-me-too-217345">wants to turn into Al Gore</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
he former California governor and global environmental activist announced the move Sunday at a live recording of POLITICO’s Off Message podcast here at the SXSW festival, revealing that he’s in talks with several private law firms and preparing a public push around the effort.</p>
<p>
“This is no different from the smoking issue. The tobacco industry knew for years and years and years and decades, that smoking would kill people, would harm people and create cancer, and were hiding that fact from the people and denied it. Then eventually they were taken to court and had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars because of that,” Schwarzenegger said. “The oil companies knew from 1959 on, they did their own study that there would be global warming happening because of fossil fuels, and on top of it that it would be risky for people’s lives, that it would kill.”</p>
<p>
Schwarzenegger said he’s still working on a timeline for filing, but the news comes as he prepares to help host a major environmental conference in May in Vienna.</p>
<p>
“We’re going to go after them, and we’re going to be in there like an Alabama tick. Because to me it’s absolutely irresponsible to know that your product is killing people and not have a warning label on it, like tobacco,” he said. “Every gas station on it, every car should have a warning label on it, every product that has fossil fuels should have a warning label on it.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Yes, every car should have a warning label on it. Don't drink the gasoline.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
And every Schwarzenegger speech should have a warning label on it. "Warning: Failed Actor Looking to Subsidize his Lifestyle and Fame."</p>
<p>
This was the same guy touting his Hummer not long ago. Why didn't the oil companies tell him that <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/cars/the-beastly-car-collection-of-arnold-schwarzenegger">all&nbsp;his Hummers</a> burned gas? Why did they mislead him into thinking it ran on moonbeams and happiness?</p>
<p>
And why did they fail to inform him that <a href="http://collider.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-tank-ride-last-stand/">crushing a car with a tank </a>is bad for the environment?</p>
<p>
But maybe Arnie can get the same lawyers who sued Chevron. Then he'll be stuck with the bill.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Hillary Clinton continues her tour-de-sore-loser around the world. This latest stop takes her to India. Where she's no doubt charging some people a whole lot of money to listen to her <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/03/12/hillary-clinton-says-follow-the-money-in-the-trump-putin-bromance/">insipid whining</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In the hour-long appearance, Clinton bemoaned the “reality campaign” tactics of her opponent in the 2016 presidential campaign — musing that perhaps she should have provided more “entertainment” to voters who were responding to Trump’s brash campaign of “insulting and attacking.”&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Oh, Hillary provided plenty of entertainment. It was just unintentional. "Like with a cloth."</p>
<p>
But maybe she could have had Bill play the saxophone&nbsp;or chase balloons for 15 minutes while she reassured the audience that all was well.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“If people were looking for a reality TV campaign, maybe I should have given them more entertainment,” she said. “I’m the mother who says, ‘Eat your spinach, you’ll grow up strong.’ Someone else is saying, ‘Eat all the fast food and the ice cream you can possibly stick in your mouth.’ ”&nbsp;</p>

<p>
More like, eat your spinach, grandma's gonna get drunk on champagne that she bought with your&nbsp;foster care money and pass out on the couch while watching a Woodstock documentary.</p>

“He does have a preexisting attitude of favorability toward these dictators, but I think it’s more than that with Putin and Russia,” she said.&nbsp;<br>

“Do they have something on him?” asked the event’s host, India Today Editor Aroon Purie.&nbsp;<br>

“Well, we’ll find out, we’ll find out,” she answered. “Follow the money.”&nbsp;</p>

So said the woman who came to meet with the Russians toting a Reset Button and empowered the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran. But by all means, follow the money. It leads to Uranium One.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Team Coup is very eager to discuss Russian interference in our political affairs. But <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269537/forget-russia-what-about-qatar-daniel-greenfield">as I asked last week</a>, where's the discussion of Qatari interference?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Qatar’s influence operations took an ominous turn when Elliott Broidy, a top Trump donor, had his emails hacked by individuals he alleges were Qatari agents. The leaked emails play into Qatar’s conflict with the UAE. The emails have predictably popped up on Al Jazeera and Broidy had previously been targeted by&nbsp;The Intercept&nbsp;for a panel at which Steve Bannon had criticized Qatar.</p>
<p>
"We have reason to believe this hack was sponsored and carried out by registered and unregistered agents of Qatar seeking to punish Mr Broidy for his strong opposition to state-sponsored terrorism," Broidy's spokesman said.</p>
<p>
These two incidents of alleged Qatari espionage against Americans in order to influence our foreign policy raise serious questions. Yet the same media that obsessively searches for Russian bots on Reddit and Facebook seems entirely disinterested in discussing the subject. Skeptics of Russian influence have been told to put country ahead of party, but when will the left finally put country ahead of Qatar?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Now NBC News is doing some <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/qataris-opted-not-give-info-kushner-secret-meetings-mueller-n855326">more Qatari spinning</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Qatari officials gathered evidence of what they claim is illicit influence by the United Arab Emirates on&nbsp;Jared Kushner&nbsp;and other Trump associates, including details of secret meetings, but decided not to give the information to special counsel&nbsp;Robert Mueller&nbsp;for fear of harming relations with the Trump administration, say three sources familiar with the Qatari discussions.</p>
<p>
It is unknown whether&nbsp;Qatari officials&nbsp;were the source of the recent news stories detailing activities by Nader and Broidy published by The New York Times and CNN.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Unknown. Right.</p>
<p>
Reading between the lies, Qatar spied on Trump's people. Pondered passing the products of their spying to Team Coup, but instead decided to pipeline it through the media, who then passed it to Mueller.</p>
<p>
This is quite similar to what the Clintons pulled with the Steele dossier. Except Qatar is an enemy state. Qatar passed damaging information produced by espionage to Mueller through the media.</p>
<p>
Mueller needs to make it clear that he won't be colluding with Qatar. If he employs material produced by Qatari espionage on Americans as part of their plot to interfere in our domestic affairs, he's the one who needs to be investigated for collusion.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Government is a permanent institution. Create a department and it never goes away. Even when it's been irrelevant for generations.</p>
<p>
The Mueller Investigation is increasingly becoming a permanent institution. And that's the only thing it can be.</p>
<p>
Mueller and Co. know quite well that they're never going to have enough to indict President Trump. All they can do is supply impeachment materials and more importantly, keep the White House from its normal functions. All the while inflating the bottom line of conspiracy coup tabloids like the Washington Post which would go out of business without him (and Jeff Bezos and his illegal Amazon monopoly.)</p>
<p>
So there may never be a stand and deliver moment. Just the<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-12/mueller-is-said-to-weigh-putting-off-trump-obstruction-decision"> endless pursuit </a>of low hanging fruit in Trumpworld&nbsp;on irrelevant charges by the investigation that never ends.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice is said to be close to completion, but he may set it aside while he finishes other key parts of his probe, such as possible collusion and the hacking of Democrats, according to current and former U.S. officials.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
And then he's going to have to off and investigate the latest 30 theories supplied to him by CNN, the Washington Post, Clinton campaign officials and Qatar.</p>
<p>
This is the investigation that will never end. Yes it will go on and on, my friend.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The revelation is a peek into Mueller’s calculations as he proceeds with his many-headed probe</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Ah yes. A "peek" into that investigation which, according to the media, never leaks.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Top congressional Democrats are urging&nbsp;President Trump&nbsp;to "devote all available resources" to bringing 13 Russian nationals accused of meddling in the presidential election to the United States so they can stand trial.&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Senate Democratic Leader&nbsp;Charles Schumer&nbsp;(N.Y.), House Democratic Leader&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;(Calif.) and Sen.&nbsp;Dianne Feinstein&nbsp;(Calif.) and Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) — the top Democrats on the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, respectively — sent a letter to Trump, saying the government "has a number of tools at its disposal" to bring the individuals to the United States.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
"We write to urge your administration to devote all resources available to ensure that the Russian nationals indicted for allegedly interfering with the 2016 elections are brought to justice and stand trial in the United States," they wrote.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
But Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that he would "never" extradite the individuals.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
If these 13 Russians are tied in with the Russian government, then Putin isn't about to turn them over. Not without say, a war. He's still got Snowden, who did far more damage to our national security, but Schumer and Pelosi don't seem interested in him. Maybe because AG Holder had praised him.</p>

<p>
The anti-Israel movement is part of a larger&nbsp;anti-Semitic movement. And its human shields of Jewish ancestry knowingly defend anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>
If Not Now's support for the Women's March leaders being criticized for their Farrakhan fandom is a useful demonstration of this fact. An anti-Israel group like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/262011/if-not-now-j-streets-latest-anti-israel-front-daniel-greenfield">If Not Now</a> or J Street is also there to provide cover for anti-Semites.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
J Street dragged its feet on condemning Rep. Danny Davis after he praised Farrakhan and spoke of the "Jewish Question."</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268483/soros-defends-sarsour-daniel-greenfield">Rafael Shimunov</a>, a member of the anti-Israel hate group, If Not Now, admitted that Farrakhan hated Jews, but tweeted about "NOI's actually powerful and needed liberation work".<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/262496/simone-zimmerman-bernie-sanders-pro-bds-jewish-daniel-greenfield"> If Not Now</a>, which harasses Jewish charities in support of racist Islamic terrorists, complained that the reaction by Jewish institutions "to this incident has been outsized" and that "it is unsettling to see” Jewish organizations “criticize Black and Muslim activists and politicians for any association with Farrakhan."</p>
<p>
The problem isn’t NOI’s racists, its racist supporters and its apologists, it’s the Jews noticing it.</p>
<p>
Shimunov also tweeted, "By sticking by those unfairly painted with antisemitism we are putting that trust on the line as a movement of progressive Jews. and on that line is all of our power which many of us gladly (and never without threats to our lives, jobs, family) wager to defend our friends and allies @lsarsour @TamikaDMallory and @msladyjustice1.&nbsp;And that, at least for me, will never waiver when any of those sisters must be where there sisters and brothers are. Never. But there is more. there are must be complexities. And there must be simple truths. With complexities I've seen first hand (even as a person who is not Black) what NOI means and the undeniable impact on daily survival of people I've loved."</p>
<p>
If Not Now, when will we praise an anti-Semitic hate group?</p><div class="feedflare">

The racesplaining all involves the "good things" that the racist hate group does in the black community.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
And?</p>
<p>
Most cults and hate groups do some good things in the community they're based on. Even the mafia did. So did the KKK.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
That's not a defense of black leaders associating with Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam. It's an indictment.</p>
<p>
"Many black people have had either direct or indirect interactions with the Nation of Islam at some point in their lives. They’re the brothas walking down the street selling the Final Call on Nostrand Avenue in New York City’s Brooklyn borough or selling bean pies on 125th Street in Harlem. They are our cousins, friends and the dude at the barbershop," <a href="https://www.theroot.com/a-word-about-louis-farrakhan-and-tamika-mallory-1823607435">Terrell Jermaine Starr</a> writes in the Root.</p>
<p>
And Klan members were the guys white southerners saw in the barbershop and were also their cousins. But they were still expected to disavow them.</p>
<p>
No one is asking black leaders to disavow the KKK&nbsp;or asking white leaders to disavow the Nation of Islam (though apparently white lefties have to be asked to do this). People get asked to disavow the hate groups that cater to their own community.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The Nation of Islam is a racist supremacist organization. Of course it does some good things for black people. (While terrorizing, murdering and oppressing others.) The Nazi Party and its leader (whom the Nation of Islam's leader has praised) did some good things for Germany (until they set it on fire and wiped out much of the population to maintain their socialist pyramid scheme.)</p>
<p>
The whole point of anti-racism is to reject the racial supremacist organizations of your own race. If you don't do that, even if you're not a racist, you're a collaborator.</p>
<p>
It's funny that all the intersectional lecturers on the structural power of white supremacist refuse to grasp this simple point when it applies to them. If you collaborate with racists of your race, you're just as bad as they are.</p>
<p>
And you don't get to lecture anyone else on racism.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The CBC, Obama, Ellison, the intersectional movement leaders, etc can have it one of two ways.</p>
<p>
They can disavow the NOI and mean it. (Instead of meeting with Farrakhan secretly.) Or they can stop lecturing us on racism. Instead they've taken a break from lecturing us on white racism with hot takes justifying the racist hate group they hang out with.</p>
<p>
No.</p>
<p>
Either you disavow racism or you normalize it. All these hot takes of "The Nation of Islam is racist, but we hang out with them and they do some good things" do is normalize racism. And show that the anti-racist lobby is very eager to take on white racists, but won't take on its own racists.</p>
<p>
That's not anti-racism. That's black supremacism. And the only difference between it and the Nation of Islam is that Calypso Louie Farrakhan may be a racist, but at least he isn't a hypocrite.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
<img height="728" width="1160" style="height: 251px; width: 400px;" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="1" src="https://www.frontpagemag.com/sites/default/files/uploads/2018/03/bari_weiss.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>
There are two hot trends in the progressive media now.</p>
<p>
1. Excusing Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam</p>
<p>
2. Attacking Bari Weiss, a Jewish liberal New York Times columnist who called out anti-Semitism on the left, especially in the Women's March, whose leaders have praised Farrakhan</p>
<p>
The two trends are one and the same. The same progressive media echo chamber is fighting to protect an anti-Semitic intersectional movement while attacking a Jewish woman who called it out.</p>
<p>
Examples of the former trend include, Why Tamika Mallory Won’t Condemn Farrakhan at The Atlantic, Shaun King at&nbsp;The Intercept, "A Word About Louis Farrakhan and Tamika Mallory" at The Root, and Masha Gessen at the New Yorker.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Some examples of the latter include the Neo-Soviet titled rant, "A New York Times columnist blamed a far-left 'mob' for her woes. But maybe she deserves them" by Avi&nbsp;Selk at the&nbsp;Washington Post, Ben Mathis-Lilley&nbsp;at Slate, an attack from Glenn Greenwald, the Hamas apologist at the top of The Intercept and the Bari Weiss Problem at The Outline.</p>
<p>
The former are filled with special pleading and the latter furious intolerance. We are expected to make special allowances for Farrakhan's black leftist fans while rabidly hating a Jewish woman whose real crime was challenging the leftist comfort level with anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>
Little more needs to be said.</p>
<p>
It's tediously predictable that the loudest attacks on Bari Weiss come from lefty columnists with Jewish last names. It's far safer to attack Bari Weiss than it is to stand up to Farrakhan.</p>
<p>
No one who has read Orwell's writings, his detailed accounts of the hypocrisies and lies that Communists were expected to tell for the Party in both their fictional and journalistic forms, will find any of this new.</p>
<p>
But for Jews, it's another reminder that the left is not only anti-Semitic, but deeply dishonest. It's a hypocritical movement that preaches racial piety while practicing racism, and whose lynch mobs exist to silence any dissent.</p>
<p>
Especially by Jews who speak out against leftist anti-Semitism. The fact that this dissent is most often crushed by lefties with Jewish last names is not new. The Soviet Union initially used the Yevsektsia, a Jewish Section made up of Jewish leftists, to purge Jewish life in its domain. The attacks on Bari Weiss are coming from the progressive media's Yevsketsia whose jorno-activists are just as eager to prove their fidelity to the party, whether by whitewashing Farrakhan or denouncing Bari Weiss.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Of course she won't.</p>
<p>
We all know what that test will show. Pow Wow Chow knows what that test will show. It's much easier for the slightly more masculine version of Bernie Sanders to buy off American Indian activists in classic identity politics style than to put some <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/11/warren-no-to-white-house-bid-dna-test-says-heritage-part-who-am.amp.html">actual skin in her racial game</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday ruled out a 2020 presidential run and taking a DNA test to prove Native American ancestry -- an issue that has nagged her Senate campaigns and would almost certainly create problems in a White House bid.</p>
<p>
“I’m not running for president,” Warren, a champion of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, told “Fox News Sunday.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Two lies. One interview.</p>
<p>
Warren has famously eschewed combative or even probing media interviews. (Much like Bernie Sanders.) The only reasons she would go on Fox News is the same reason she did her American Indian pitch, as prep for a presidential run. But Warren is also unpopular enough in Massachusets that she doesn't want to give her opponents any more ammo by announcing that she wants to move on.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
When asked Sunday whether she’d agree to calls for genetic testing to resolve the heritage controversy, Warren launched into a family history, as purportedly told by her parents and grandparents, before saying, “It’s a part of who I am, and no one’s ever going to take that away.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Certainly not a DNA test that might actually establish who she is.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“Let me tell you a little bit about my family,” Warren said Sunday.&nbsp;“My mom and dad were born and raised out in Oklahoma, and my daddy was in his teens when he fell in love with my mother.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
“She was a beautiful girl who played the piano.&nbsp;And he was head over heels in love with her and wanted to marry her.&nbsp;And his family was bitterly opposed to that because she was part Native American.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
This isn't an answer. It's a politician's stump speech.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"&nbsp;I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me, what my grandmother and my grandfather told me, what all my aunts and uncles told me and my brothers.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The perfect My Truth response.</p>
<p>
You can't prove I'm obviously lying, because I really believe my lies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
What better political&nbsp;qualification could there be?</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Today at lunch, the topic of the sudden shift made by American Communists from being anti-war during the Hitler-Stalin Pact to turning radically pro-war after Hitler invaded the USSR came up.</p>
<p>
And the media keeps reminding us that their "We have always been at war with Eastasia" routine is still around.</p>
<p>
When Trump was threatening North Korea, the media fell in love with it. It glamorized a murderous tyrant's sisters and cheered for its sex slave cheerleaders. Now that Trump may meet with its leader, the media is full of stories about how terrible North Korea is.</p>
<p>
What's obvious is that the media has no view on North Korea. Aside from the radical left that is. Its view of North Korea is determined entirely by whatever President Trump is doing about North Korea.</p>
<p>
If Trump threatens the Norks, the media will love them. If Trump will meet with them, they're terrible.</p>
<p>
The media doesn't have a serious opinion on North Korea. It just obsessively hates Trump.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
California voters have spent the past decade voting for every stupid leftist gimmick. And no matter how often they're lied to, they seem to keep on doing it.</p>
<p>
Take the light rail to nowhere project. You'll never guess <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-bullet-train-cost-increase-20180309-story.html">the latest shocking development</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The price of the California bullet train project jumped sharply Friday when the state rail authority announced that the cost of connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco would be $77.3 billion and could rise as high as $98.1 billion — an uptick of at least $13 billion from estimates two years ago.</p>
<p>
The rail authority also said the earliest trains could operate on a partial system between San Francisco and Bakersfield would be 2029 — four years later than the previous projection. The full system would not begin operating until 2033.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Try never.</p>
<p>
When voters approved this disaster, they were told it would cost $33 billion. That's $33 billion to $77 billion. As of now. It'll hit $100 billion before long.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The rail authority has wrestled with a more than $40-billion funding gap for the full system, which would increase further under the new cost estimates.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Oh that's easy. All the illegal aliens and legalized drugs will pay for it. If legalizing pot doesn't work, just think how much revenue legalizing cocaine and heroin will bring in. With illegal aliens selling cocaine while getting universal health care over light rail, that $100 billion will pay for itself.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The new business plan is based on a wide range of uncertainties, Kelly said. Among the most challenging is the cost of about 36 miles of tunnels through mountainous Southern California, which could range anywhere from $26 billion to $45 billion, according to the report.</p>
<p>
"These are the best estimates we have to date," Kelly said</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
It's only a $19 billion difference. It's only money.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown, who since the 1980s has championed high-speed rail, said the disclosures do not change the strong support he expressed in his recent State of the State address, when he said: "I make no bones about it. I like trains and I like high-speed trains even better."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Maybe the remaining taxpayers of California can chip in to buy Jerry a toy train set. It'll be around $99 billion cheaper.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
The media's Farrakhan embargo is collapsing. And that's due to the hard work of committed conservative journalists who stayed on this story, especially at the Daily Caller, which got the Rep. Davis quotes, twice. Some credit also goes to Jake Tapper at CNN and Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post for a willingness to discuss the subject even when their media outlets didn't want to.</p>
<p>
The debate over the ties between Women's March leaders and Farrakhan made into a debate on the View. And that debate involved none other than Valerie Jarrett.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The New York Times has now run its own explainer piece on Farrakhan and the Dems which mentions the infamous Obama-Farrakhan photo. There's also a quote from an Obama spokeswoman claiming that,&nbsp;“President Obama has denounced racism and anti-Semitism his entire life. That includes his public and repeated repudiations of Louis Farrakhan’s views over the years. Today is no different – he still rejects the harmful and divisive views Farrakhan continues to espouse.”</p>
<p>
That fails to explain why he met with him. And maybe one of these days someone will ask him that question. And then Obama can give a new remix of his Wright speech. "I can no more disavow Calypso Louie than I can my dead white grandmother."</p>
<p>
Rep. Danny Davis, after defending Farrakhan, now has a statement condemning him. But we've seen that before. So it likely doesn't represent his views. After a previous statement, Rep. Davis made an infamous comment about the "Jewish question". So it probably still isn't over. The statement though <a href="http://freebeacon.com/politics/dem-rep-called-farrakhan-outstanding-human-releases-new-statement-condemning-name/">is full of conspiracy theories </a>and&nbsp; blames everyone else for Davis' behavior except him.</p>
<p>
And now on to <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/08/james-clyburn-top-democrat-ties-farrakhan/">"civil rights hero"</a> (TM) Rep. Clyburn.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn attended a 2011 event with Farrakhan and shared the stage with him, even after Jewish groups voiced their opposition to Clyburn attending the event.&nbsp;Clyburn&nbsp;told the Final Call, a Nation of Islam publication, that he was “not bothered in the least bit” by criticisms of his attendance at the event.</p>
<p>
As the assistant Democratic leader, Clyburn is the third-highest ranked Democrat in the House. He declined to condemn Farrakhan in a statement&nbsp;released to The Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.</p>
<p>
“I have fought all my life to advance the cause of social justice and equality, and I have always opposed bigotry in all its forms,” Clyburn said in the statement. His&nbsp;office declined&nbsp;repeated inquiries regarding whether the congressman is willing to condemn Farrakhan, and whether he stood by his decision in 2011 to shrug off criticisms of Farrakhan.</p>
<p>
Clyburn is now the eighth House Democrat to have&nbsp;direct ties to Farrakhan. The Republican Jewish Coalition has already called on the seven other Democrats to resign over their ties to Farrakhan.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Obviously not going to happen. But the story is breaking through the embargo. We're starting to have that "national dialogue" about racism that the left keeps wanting us to have.&nbsp;</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Bad news for the media.</p>
<p>
After some stock market turbulence, it had settled comfortably into pushing an economic decline narrative. And the tariffs&nbsp;had brought that out to the fore. So <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/09/nonfarm-payrolls-february.html">the jobs report is</a> particularly badly timed.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The economy added 313,000 jobs in February, crushing expectations, while the unemployment rate remained at 4.1 percent, according to a Labor Department report Friday that could help quell inflation fears.</p>
<p>
Economists surveyed by Reuters had been expecting nonfarm payroll growth of 200,000 and the unemployment rate to decline one-tenth of a point to 4 percent.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
It's always nice when the economy outperforms expectations by over 50%.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
An increase in the labor force participation rate to its highest level since September helped keep the headline unemployment number steady, as the number of those counted as not in the workforce tumbled by 653,000 to just over 95 million.</p>
<p>
The total counted as "employed" in the household survey surged by 785,000 to a record 155.2 million.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
It's a new record for this century. And the perfect jobs report&nbsp;comes at the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/09/this-was-the-perfect-jobs-report-for-the-stock-market-investors-and-economists-say.html">worst possible time</a> for media narratives.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The Federal Reserve remains on track to hike rates in March and at least two or more times this year after a surprisingly strong&nbsp;February jobs report, described by some economists as "the best of the recovery."</p>
<p>
February's employment report — with 313,000 jobs created — marks a turning point for the economy. Companies are hiring at a rapid enough pace to bring the long-term unemployed off the sidelines.</p>
<p>
For the Fed, economists say the number is "Goldilocks," meaning not too hot to suggest an overheating, or more interest rate hikes, nor too cold, meaning the Fed could be concerned by softness in wages. For the markets, the economy looks strong, but not so strong that inflation will push interest rates up more quickly — a perfect case for stocks.</p>
<p>
"These numbers are remarkable," said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies. "806,000 people came back into the labor force and 97 percent of them found jobs. If you want a job you can get one. This is about as much as you can expect. … We've waited 10 years for this, and here we are."</p>

Obama was right. We were the ones we were waiting for. And the economy was waiting for him to leave.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Anti-Israel activist group J Street was very outraged when <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/265164/fact-check-are-j-street-backers-worse-kapos-daniel-greenfield">its leaders were described&nbsp;as "Kapos"</a>. The comparison of the Soros funded group that has stood with Hamas over Israel with Jews who were forced to collaborate with the Nazis during the Holocaust was indeed insulting. To Kapos. Jews under Nazi rule may have been forced to collaborate. No one forced J Street to collaborate with anti-Semites.</p>
<p>
And here's J Street trying to decide whether to stop <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269487/dem-congressman-corrects-adls-claim-he-isnt-daniel-greenfield">endorsing a Democrat </a>who pals around with Farrakhan and defended him by mentioning the "Jewish question."</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Democratic Illinois Rep. Danny Davis defended Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as an “outstanding human being” on Monday.</p>
<p>
Farrakhan’s history of&nbsp;racially extreme comments&nbsp;includes blaming Jews for the September 11 attacks, saying white people “deserve to die” and praising Adolf Hitler as a “very great man.”</p>
<p>
“I personally know [Farrakhan], I’ve been to his home, done meetings, participated in events with him,” Davis told TheDC.</p>
<p>
The congressman wasn’t sure why the ADL wrote that he had been misquoted in his praise for the anti-Semite, and said he wasn’t sure if someone from his office had told the ADL he was misquoted, he&nbsp;told The Daily Caller News Foundation&nbsp;on Sunday. “I think that was what they wanted to write. Nah, I don’t have no problems with Farrakhan, I don’t spend a whole lot of my time dealing with those kind of things,”&nbsp;Davis said.</p>
<p>
“That’s just one segment of what goes on in our world. The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth. For those heavy into it, that’s their thing, but it ain’t my thing,” he said</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The "Jewish Question" is a term generally used by anti-Semites today. But J Street is stuck with its own Jewish Question. How much <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/242870">anti-Semitism is too much</a> even for it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Left-wing advocacy group J Street said it is re-evaluating its endorsement of a congressman who&nbsp;praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.</p>
<p>
JStreetPAC, the arm of the NGO that funds and endorses candidates, currently lists Rep. Danny Davis, an Illinois Democrat from the virulently anti-Semitic Farrakhan’s home base of Chicago, as a candidate it supports. The endorsement, first reported in the&nbsp;Forward, calls Davis “a longtime supporter of Israel and a two-state solution.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
In J Street's home dimension of Oceania, supporter of Israel means Farrakhan supporter.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“We take anti-Semitism quite seriously,” J Street’s statement read. “We are currently in conversation with Representative Davis’ office about this issue. We will get back to you shortly with a more extensive response.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
So seriously that J Street can't decide what to do about a politician who defends a Hitler-lover and raises the Jewish Question. That's serious all right. Seriously Kapo.</p><div class="feedflare">

<p>
Sometimes I just feel embarrassed for the left.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
There was a time when these people were actually capable of mounting formidable arguments. Now 99% of it consists of shouting stupid things at stupid people. And backing up the shouting with the power of the media corporations under their control. The stupid thing they're shouting now is that the "assault rifle" is evil because it's a Nazi weapon.</p>
<p>
Here's a sample <a href="http://www.markfordelegate.com/content/how-gop-makes-it-easy-commit-mass-murder">of this hysterical</a> stupidity from a Virginia Democrat</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The AR-15: The Weapon of Choice for Mass Murderers</p>
<p>
Used in Florida, Las Vegas, Newtown, Colorado theater, Pulse Nightclub, Texas Church,&nbsp;and many, many other places.&nbsp;Will be used to kill a large number of innocent people again very soon,<br>
in some other place in the USA...</p>
<p>
Original version created by Nazi Germany;&nbsp;Modern version legalized by the GOP.&nbsp;You want a military weapon originally used by the Nazis&nbsp;That murders quickly, painfully, and with precision.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The AR-15 was developed by the Nazis? Who knew.</p>
<p>
Media scare stories <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-11-07/how-the-ar-15-assault-rifle-became-one-of-the-most-popular-guns-in-america">make the</a> connection in a slightly more sophisticated way. But not by much.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
THEY'RE LIGHTWEIGHT,&nbsp;relatively cheap and extremely lethal, inspired by Nazi infantrymen on the Eastern Front during World War II. They're so user-friendly some retailers recommend them for children, yet their design is so aggressive one marketer compared them to carrying a "man card" -- although ladies who dare can get theirs in pink.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The Washington Post which, these days, specializes in loudly shouting stupid things at people who want to pretend they're smart, was much less subtle about it. "The AR-15: 'America's rifle' or illegitimate killing machine?"</p>
<p>
"The AR-15 — its initials come not from “assault rifle” but from its original manufacturer, Armalite —&nbsp;is a descendant of the machine guns Nazi infantrymen used against Soviet forces in World War II. In the United States, the weapon traces its origins to a contract the Pentagon gave in 1957 to Armalite,"&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The New York Times is only a little better. "The weapon was to be a conceptual copy of the sturmgewehr, which Nazi Germany had fielded late in the war.In the evaluations and field trials that followed, Senior Sgt.&nbsp;Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, a wounded veteran of tank warfare on the Soviet Union’s western front, was credited with developing a prototype for a medium-powered rifle capable, like the sturmgewehr, of both automatic and semiautomatic fire.The AK-47, with an effective range beyond the length of a pair of football fields, was accepted in 1947."</p>
<p>
The AR-15 is a Nazi rifle the way that the jet plane is a Nazi plane. Germany very aggressively pushed forward into new forms of battlefield technology. That allowed it to initially dominate Europe.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The United States, the USSR and the UK tried to catch up. If we outlaw everything that came from that arms race and the subsequent Cold War fought between the winners, we would be living in a 30s world.</p>
<p>
The AR-15 has nothing Nazi about it. Unlike the favorite vehicle of lefty hippies whose original logo resembled a Swastika, it's an American product. The&nbsp;Volkswagen was an old effort by Hitler to socialize car ownership. Even its name testifies to its Nazi past.</p>
<p>
If the left really hates Nazism, maybe it ought to give up on its national socialism.</p><div class="feedflare">
